Yet A Butterfly

The council blocks of flats

Stand

Ruthless silence hangs over them

Like the air over a coffin being followed to the graveyard

People like deaf and dumb bumble bees stay within these walls

Days mean a way time turns to nights

And nights a way time turns to days back again

Perpetual purposelessness shines through

Dreamless hollow eyes of living skinned skeletons of men

Directionless heavy footsteps of light living dead souls of men Disappear by the pubs or the bookies

Around Bethnal Green

The Green Land Grocers sells groceries

To people of colours hated by the enraged colourless or white

The old traditional graffiti still reads under the staircase

“Not for Irish, Black and Dogs”

Yet London bids for Olympic and regeneration bids made

Politicians stand and get elected for more service to the people

Where hatred grew like mosquitoes in the dirty filthy marshlands

Where malaria epidemic spreads its deadly arms deep inside

Of human minds

Hatred grew on hatred

Minds die on minds

Where humanity is

Nothing but deaf and dumb half slaughtered lamb

Can not die yet dying all the time

Can not live yet dying all the time

Can not grow yet bleeding all the time

The city gets heavy

Night clubs and pubs

Parties and dances

Fashionable music and drugs

And all the gears

And chicks and birds and broads

Regardless the Thames flows as if Buddha of the night

By Westminster bridge

Counting the stars in the sky

The last one far away

“Is that Nirvana?”

What are you talking about!

I can not breathe

I am deaf and dumb half slaughtered lamb

Can not die yet dying all the time

Can not live yet dying all the time

Can not grow yet bleeding all the time

Yet a butterfly still stuck in my throat

Yet a rainbow still hangs by my neck

Yet I hold a dove of a dawn between my hands

Yet I have a song to let go into the infinite sky
